Research policy favours projects that integrate disciplinary
knowledge and involve non-academic stakeholders. Consequently,
integrative concepts a" interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity
a" are gaining currency in landscape research and planning.
Researchers are excited by the prospect of merging disciplinary and
non-academic expertise to improve their understanding and
performance, but often struggle with the challenges of
operationalizing integration.
This book provides guidelines for those coping with these
challenges, whether they are members of an integrative research
team or individuals working on a problem that demands integration.
They must define terminology, choose appropriate methodologies,
overcome epistemological barriers and cope with the high
expectations of some stakeholders while encouraging others to
participate at all.
The book deals with the development of integrative theory and
concepts, the development of integrative tools and methods,
training and education for integration, and the application of
integrative concepts in landscape research. As it also presents
examples of successful integrative PhD studies, it is not only
valuable for experienced scientists but will also help other PhD
students find their way in integrative research.
